The article presents the results of the investigation the factor structure of multidimensional discursive capabilities diagnosing test. The development of the test was based on the material of everyday discourse, the maintenance of which requires the solution of various communicative tasks. The stimulus material of the test was based on a priori ideas about the 4 phases of everyday conversation. The three-factor structure of discursive capabilities was revealed with the exploratory factor analysis: “changing the direction of the conversation,” “initiating a conversation,” and “maintaining a conversation.” The use of structural equation modeling (SEM) confirmed the three-factor model of discursive capabilities. The conservation of the factor structure of the short version discursive capabilities of the test is shown. Diagnosing discursive capabilities of the test short version are presented.
